The contract with my boss

Chapter 19

Bora arrived almost at midnight. Taking off her heels with a drawn-out groan, she hung on to me and muttered that she was very tired. It became clear that now is not the best time for such news. So we just went to bed. She fell asleep almost immediately, while I was tossing and turning at midnight, tormented by thoughts of the upcoming conversation.

On Sunday morning I was the first to wake up and looked at sleeping Bora for a long time. I was scared. From the fact that she will leave after finding out the truth. That she would not believe. I was really afraid of this. On the other hand, I was still stopped by the fact that I did not know how to explain everything to her. I didn't want to tell the whole truth. Because then not only our relationship will be under threat, but also her relationship with her mother, which seems to have just begun to stabilize. And then what? How to tell her half of the truth? This at least does not explain why I started dating her. Excluding one lie, you have to exclude the second. Why talk about it at all? I also asked this question.

But I need to be honest in a relationship.

It seemed that with these conclusions I would drive myself into depression at such a rate.

Bora opened her eyes and smiled.

- You know, if I hadn't known you enough, I'd think you're a maniac," she muttered, stretching.

- Why?

- Because you constantly watch when I sleep. Like in a horror movie.

- Well when you sleep, you are.... Well...

- If you say that I'm cute, I'll knock you.

- No, definitely not cute," I laughed.

- Let's agree on "so sexy."

- Agree.

She rolled over on her side and looked at me.

- I love waking up with you," she said quietly.

I returned her smile and kissed her on the temple.

- Come on up, I'll make us breakfast," I said and climbed out of bed.

While I was preparing, Bora had already washed and came to kitchen.

- How did it go yesterday?" I asked, pouring in coffee.

- In general, it was normal. Mother was just kind nervous, twitchy, I wonder why, then she kept trying to find out where I had gone.

- And what did you say?" I had already been sticking my head in the refrigerator for about three minutes, as I was nervous, because I understood her mom's reaction.

- I said that I was with friends. I decided that there was no place there to explain something to her.

- I agree," I nodded, exhaling, and took out milk.

- Are you all right?" Bora asked, frowning slightly, when we had already had breakfast and were just drinking coffee, sitting on the sofa in the living room.

- What?" I was again in thought and did not hear her question.

- Okay," she turned to me, tucking her legs under her," what happened? You've been kind of weird all morning. What's wrong?

- There is nothing. Everything ... It's all right.

- Is it because I spend a lot of time with you? I remember how you said that you were scared by the woman's proposal to live together ... Maybe ... If you want, I can spend the night at my place ...

- No, it has nothing to do with it.

- And then what?

- I need to tell you something. You obviously won't like it, but I have to tell you.

- You're scaring me ...

- There is nothing wrong. More precisely ... Well, I'll just say, maybe?" Waiting for her to nod, I took a deep breath and continued.

- You see, at the very beginning, when you and I just ... "my speech was interrupted by the doorbell, and I shuddered from surprise, as my nerves were already at the limit.

- Are you waiting for someone?" Bora looked perplexedly towards the hallway.

- No. Maybe is Yoohyeon? Although she would have called," I held out and took the phone," damn, I turned it off last night.

- Then this is probably your modest friend," Bora said sarcastically.

The fact was that Yoohyeon had already come twice at the most inopportune moments, so we agreed that next time she would call in advance to inform about the upcoming visit. More precisely, Bora told her this. Yoohyeon chuckled, guessing why Bora was so angry, but still began to call.

And since I, as the most "responsible" person, did not even bother to turn on the phone, obviously my friend decided that this did not count as an "unexpected visit" and decided to come anyway.

I went into the hallway, lightly kissed Bora on the cheek on the way, and opened the door.

It seemed to me that a comedy could be made about my life. How at first I agreed to play along with the daughter of the boss, pretending that I was in love with her. Then I really fell in love, and mutually. At the moment when I decided to reveal my cards, the boss herself showed up.

I looked at her with all my eyes, but could not utter a word. No, nevertheless, if a film was shot about me, it would not be a comedy, but horror.

- What ... What are you doing here?" honestly, I thought that the earth would go out from under my feet.

- We need to talk," miss Kim said sternly and walked into the hallway.

- Now is not the most ...

- What did my daughter do with you yesterday afternoon? How long have you been in touch again? It seemed to me that you completed your task. What the hell are you doing again?

- It's not like that," I breathed. I had to explain her that the game was over. Real feelings are at stake.

- Then how?!" the woman hissed, and a minute later a new cycle began. It seemed that when this day was over, I would be left with a bunch of diseases on the basis of nerves and a twitching eye.

- Mom?!" Bora's eyes were as huge as miss Kim's eyes at the moment when she saw her beloved daughter that she looked into the hallway.

- Bora ?!

I stood, looking from one to the other and unable to say anything.

Hello, sorry I'm interrupting at this moment.

And I'm sorry the chapter is too short, but I hope you like it.
